Many houses - One home

Ever since I left my home in Mau in 1998 after class 10th, I have lived in many places. Obviously, this led to live in many big and small houses so far. Some were consciously temporary like college hostels, while some were big enough as if I am going to live there life long. Honestly, every time I move to a house I get a feeling that this is going to last movement and now I am going to live here without a due date. Despite this intense feeling, two things happen all the time. First, every time life takes a turn and I get to move to a new place, to a new house eventually. With the same intense belief, we bought a house in Turnhout and it seems that life is ready with another turn and I am once again going to move out of this own created burden of belief. Anyway, with all these changes, there is a second thing which does not change. The home in my dream. Having lived so many cities across the world, lived in many more houses, still in my dreams, I find myself in my home in Mau. The stage of all good and bad things of the dream always happens to be in my home in Mau. I wonder does the same happen to others? What happens in the dream of people who has no home when a child? And, what happens to those whose childhood life is like my life after leaving home -- changing house very frequently?
